    A Pipes Magazine App?

    I guess it depends on how you define "works". Tapatalk sites I can read on my phone with one hand by just scrolling with my thumb. Links are large enough to also tap with my thumb. It's just a lot easier. There's no sliding the page around looking for page buttons or constantly pinch zooming and...

    Check Out Your Ancestors

    I found out so many interesting things about my family through Ancestry.com, things my relatives never told me, probably because that in their day some things were scandalous then that are now mostly routine. (If you call five years in San Quentin routine) One of the most interesting to me was...

    Briarcraft or Grabow?

    You probably read the entry in Pipedia. So if yours has the numeric stamp and the red diamond logo on the stem, it's probably a post 1967 pipe. I think I may have one or two Smokemasters around here someplace.....

    Santa Pipe Conundrum...

    I don't think Santa is pipe snob. Leave out a selection of pipes so Santa can choose. Now, if I were Santa, I'd choose the Grabow. If you set out a cob, I'd take that too! Explain to the kids that he's a very practical dude. He'll tell about the last pipe he took with him that fell out of the...

    Very nice scenario! I managed to snag a Bertram off of Ebay a while back and it serves me well.

    Who Has Smoked Pure Louisiana Perique?

    I've got a trip to New Orleans planned for 2019. I hope to make it out to St James Parish and visit a tobacco farm while I'm there. I've watched videos of Perique production and think it might be an interesting stop.

    Peterson Pipe Unlike Any Other (I Need HELP)!!!

    Somewhere around here I have pipe stamped "Made for Peterson" in the recognizable Peterson script. When I posted about it asking why somebody would make a pipe for Peterson, some wag answered that it was so the draft hole would be drilled straight :-)

    US Navy Pilot's Art Is Unacceptable Says Officials.

    It cost us taxpayers $24,000 and hour to fly those jets. That's a very expensive penis.

    A Curious Old WDC Pipe

    mawnansmiff, No sign that this pipe ever had a windcap. The other Round Top I found in my search doesn't have one either. It does have the orific button. I agree about the Tyrolean influence. The pipe is constructed in three pieces like many of the Tyrolean pipes I've seen...

    A Curious Old WDC Pipe

    From the pictures I first saw of this pipe on Ebay, I thought it might yet another WDC Wellington. I've already got a few of those in my collection so I was about to move on. What looked like studded leather strips and carvings under the stem intrigued me though, so I put in a bid and won. The...

    Fraudulent eBay sellers...PLEASE BEWARE

    I haven't run across this yet so please clarify for me. The seller never ships anything because the entire listing is fake? In this case do the buyers get their money back from Ebay? I've never sold anything on Ebay so I'm not sure what sellers have to put up to ensure their good faith, if...
